Messidor (French pronunciation: [mesidɔʁ]) was the tenth month in the French Republican Calendar. The month was named after the Latin word messis, which means harvest.

Messidor was the first month of the summer quarter (mois d'été). It started June 19 or June 20. It ended July 18 or July 19. It follows the Prairial and precedes the Thermidor.
